| Deemed the female
counter part to “Paris is Burning” this
film, directed by Daniel Peddle, documents the lives
of six women who live their lives as"aggressives".
These women vary from bois who date trannies, to
thugged out dykes, to a bike messenger who models
for commercial magazines. This film highlights a
part of the lesbian community that rarely gets represented
properly in the media. |

| Okay technically
it’s not a “gay film” but damned
if it didn’t have deafening gay overtones.
This is the story of a man who, with the help of
his now gay ex-fiancé, stumbles upon a novel
way to make a lot of money fast. Impregnate lesbians.
Spike Lee is the only main stream director I know
of who could tackle such a controversial story line
with any kind of finesse. |

| From director Colette
Burson this modern day spin on the Cinderella fairytale
sparks a flame between the high school “It”
girl and anti-social out caste. Donned in a borrowed
tuxedo this cross-dressing Cinderella unknowingly
sweeps her dream girl off her feet and leaves nothing
but a black boot behind as a clue to her true identity. |

| The age-old lesbian
quagmire...falling for your best friend. Who hasn’t
been there at some point or another? Drunk with
love and desire you count the hours until you see
her again, her smile, her walk and ohh the smell
of her perfume. Director Ligy J. Pullappally shows
us what it's like trying to love a woman in a society
where only an arranged marriage between a man and
a woman is an acceptable form of romantic union. |

| A documentary from
director Debra A. Wilson, this short film attempts
to demystify some of the stereotypes and misconceptions
that surround “butch” or “dom”
women in the lesbian community. There’s ample
discussion around what exactly signifies butch.
Is it short hair, masculine mannerisms, wearing
men’s clothing? The cast of this documentary
shares vast and cross-generational views on the
subject. |
